Amy - Siamese Cat and Friend Killed in St Petersburg FL
This is the second time I am mourning for her. She was lost for ten days once just a couple of months after I got her. I lived next door to a townhouse full of college football players and one of them left their door open. She got in to their house, and was so spooked by their stomping around that she hid in their basement. She only came out at night to steal pizza and chicken wings from the kitchen (these are college kids so cleaning up wasn't a priority). When they started noticing missing food and evidence of her waste, they put two and two together and came knocking on my door. She had a very loud purr, and had lived in New York, Virginia, California and Florida and had been driven across the country twice. She had two other cats in our family. She always hated Isis, but had over 7 years built up a détente with Puck, and they used to go roaming together. My favorite times with her were when she would curl up on the bed on in the crook of my arm next to my head. I'd use her little rump as a pillow, and would cup her head in my hand. She'd then purr herself to sleep. On a cold night there was nothing better. She had been with me for almost nine years. I'll miss her but I do have two other great cats, Puck and Isis, to keep me company. My wife and I had split, but she has now driven down from Maryland to be with me. The night of the attack when really it was inevitable that she was not going to last, I threw myself into my work to try to cope. I just hope that I don't run out of work, otherwise I may have to think about her. So, if anyone has potential work for me, please let me know. I am going to need it for my sanity, and also to pay the vet bill, and hopefully the reward. I do search engine optimization for web sites. What that means is if you had a web site about cats, I'd help it come up high on Google or other search engines when someone did a search on "cats". As to the cause of death, at first I didn't want to speculate. She was always lousy with traffic so maybe she got hit, or it could even have been some sort of stroke or blood clot. You can't turn back the clock, so I asked the vets not to tell me any of their results when they did the post mortem. However, I can't ignore the evidence and have to admit to myself that she died from a malicious attack. Contact Us with any information. It was Amy on Saturday, it could be your pet by the middle of this week, and it could be someone's child by next week. Contact Us now with any information that may allow the guilty man to be apprehended before he causes any more harm. This cowardly individual may pick on a 11 year old, 9 pound cat today, but what other helpless victims will be next?
